Question
CBSEENPH12040187

A light of wavelength 2000 Afalls on a metallic surface of work function 5.01 eV then required potential difference to slope fastest photoelectron is (h = 6.62 x 10-34J-s)

  • 4.8V

  • 3.6V

  • 2.4V

  • 1.2V

Solution

D.

1.2V

We know that,Energy of photon=hcλ=6.62×10-34×3×1082000×10-10J=6.62×10-34×3×1082×10-7×1.6×10-19eV                 since 1eV=1.6×10-19= 6.20eVEnergy of the fastest emitted photoelectron,=hν-νo                                where νo is the work function=6.2-5.01=1.19V=1.2V
